DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE 101st Airborne SOLDIER IN THIS PHOTO?

A 101st Airborne, Five-O-Deuce Paratrooper’s WWII photo album surfaced in France & was purchased as memorabilia over the last few years. Russell Miller appears to have been the owner of the album with many personal photos of himself, family and fellow band of brothers, all from his unit, 502nd PIR of Regimental Headquarters.

Most photos are not named making it difficult to contact them. Three photos of my father, David Tharp appear in the album, photos never seen until now, seventy years later. Those pictures have since been added to the Battles and Campaigns Chapter of the book, COMES A SOLDIER’S WHISPER, a collection of wartime letters with reflection and hope for the future.

If you recognize today’s featured soldier, make the connection, so the photograph can find its’ way back to family or friends.

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me; Shall be my brother.”

~ William Shakespeare, English playwright and poet

Remembering our veterans and history one day at a time.
